Fuggah Monfuga


Remember when we wondered if the haircut and the demure Oscars gown would herald a classier Miley Cyrus?

Hope dies eternal.

Although I guess congratulations are in order for her snagging a hostessing gig at the world’s first taco joint for belly dancers. Don’t order the bottomless tortilla chips. It might be a double entendre.

    Apart from her squashed girls I actually like this outfit. Yes, it’s cracked out and she looks like she just escaped a goth harem but the ensemble is also quite pretty and covers more or less all of her bits.

    I wore something very similar to a Renaissance Faire in 1993.

    I want to hate this but I kind of think it works for her. I mean remember the acid wash?
    Too many years of watching Hannah Montana with my daughter softened me toward Miley.

    I have no shame! I love this on her! For the Oscars, no, but the Hunger Games, yes! Well played Miley!

    It ALMOST looks like something from a Bollywood movie, which means I’m predisposed to like it. Except the execution is terrible, so I can’t. So much black lace(ish), UGH!

    NO HEATHER NO! yes its a touch cracked out (i will never, NEVERRRR be a fan of long-but-see-through-skirts), but also pretty and quite event-appropriate. she also, to be fair, looks lovely in the face. and my god her boyfriend is hot.

    props to the girl.

      It’s a bustier! That looks like it’s about to bust open! That is never event appropriate! It’s not like The Hunger Games is about strippers!

        You know, that kind of sounds like the opening line to a song in a musical: “It’s a BUSTier, and it’s BUSTin’ out …” (jazz hands, etc.)

    I think this outfit is really cute.

    Somehow, a genuine (looking) smile makes all the difference for me. If this was the smirking, bratty (looking) Miley of yester-year, I might hate this, but she just looks so happy and friendly, so I kind of love her and her hippy-goth-saloon-girl chic.

      Agree that a genuine smile here makes a big difference. Her dad didn’t nickname her Smiley for nothing, right?

    Maybe, like me she is just watching lots of SATC reruns. Carrie wears this look a lot in season.

    It’s a bustier and a gypsy skirt.

    I cannot.

    Credit where credit is due, the makeup is great and she is actually glowing, but the outfit just seems a bit Cher-Lite. Whenever I look at it all I can see is someone dressing up as Cher from the 1988 Oscars.

    cute hair though!

    i actually think she looks kind of cute. and also we should not forget that she is still very young… it’s her time to experiment!
    i think if it were an actual dress, i’d really like it.

    I love this outfit! If I was her age and had her body, I’d never take it off during the warm summer months.

    I also find this close to working. I’d prefer it if there were no stomach showing. Boobs or stomach, not both.

    Well her hair still looks great even though it’s a casual style (than the Oscars party).

    Pictures I saw of this event, Liam’s facial expression is still the same.

    Her bits are covered, her hair is still cute, it suits her hippie style, and she’s done FAR worse. I call it a win.

    If only this were a dress, and not two parts. It looks like what my sister wore in 1983.

    This is a great improvement for her, even if it’s harem-inspired. Hair is still cute, I’ll give her a moderately well played :)

    Renaissance Faire? I was thinking Lilith Fair circa 1996.

    Dear everyone who’s loving this,

    YOU ARE INSANE. It’s a cropped bustier and a see-through version of the terrible prairie skirts from 2004.

      I agree. I LOVE when people disagree, but man, there is no event except a belly dancer convention to which this is “event appropriate,” especially not the premiere of a movie about a dystopian future in which children kill each other on TV for sport. I MEAN. This is so terrible.

    It’s like she forgot to put on her dress and left wearing underwear. And… It’s the second time I post the same impression this week! Wow.

    Is anyone else getting a serious Topanga Lawrence vibe from this?

    I’m just not understanding all the love for this outfit.
    I thought the Stevie Nicks look was all over, put to bed and never to be woken again.
    Still wondering when Liam’s “people” are going to strongly urge a replacement for Ms. Trailer Trash.

    She lost her neck. Tyra will not have it!

    I wish the top was a little less boob-squishy, but put me in the loving it group. I totally would have worn this when I was her age. It’s fun and cute, and I’m pretty sure that in her recent pictures she has improved her posture.

    This is awful, but she has a nice smile at least. I am trying to picture Liam Hemsworth’s reaction to this when he picked her up (Are premieres like proms? I honestly don’t know how this works.) but all I can see is his The Last Song face. I thought theirs was a promote the movie relationship. Can’t believe they are still together.

    Morticia and Gomez are gonna be so pissed that this kid stole their mutually favorite naughty nightie.

    I would never wear this for belly dancing. One backbend or arm wave, and that bustier is busted.

    • sacchrainkiss

      I had EXACTLY the same thought, the skirt maybe (but probably not) that top, no freaking way. If she did a chest lift it would explode.

        And you have one little wardrobe malfunction, and all the other dancers make fun of you forever. Belly dancers are held together with glitter and safety pins, not tape!

      • Mahastee

        Touche Hermione, so many safety pins! Anyway, I don’t know any belly dancers who would wear something so restrictively high-waisted.

        As for the bottomless tortilla reference, should I (as a belly dancer) be offended?

    I think she looks really cute in this, even though I’d be cracking Goth lingere jokes if most other women were wearing this. What’s selling it for me is her happy smile. If Miley was pulling a Lea Michelle and trying to look sexy while posing like her life depended on it, I’d feel very differently about this outfit. I wish the bustier covered about a couple inches more of her boobs up top, but she’s got the stomach to wear something cropped. And I like that she went for something more casual and less spotlight-stealing since it was her boyfriend’s big premiere.

    Oh No They Didn’t referred to this look as “Liam’s gypsy hooker,” and I can’t disagree.

    NO GUYS. You have to pull yourselves together before Fug Madness voting begins! This is NOT OKAY!

    No self respecting belly dancer would wear this, not in a public performance, and not even in the privacy of her own bedroom. It’s like a Hallowe’en theme costume.

    Terrible. Her face is cute, love her big, real smile, but the outfit is ALL BAD. Hemsworth the Lesser (Chris is older and so much manlier) had to freak when she showed up in this. I want to support her, People. I really do. I always liked Hannah Montana. But this is not helping me get there.

    It’s lingerie-adjacent, but she looks pretty nice (and bathed, with combed hair), so I’m fine with it.

    If wearing this got me Liam Hemsworth, I’d do it…

    Hey, at least she’s following the “legs or boobs but not both” rule…sure the skirt is a bit see-through, but not enough to make it Boobs Legsley material. The style is totally her…sometimes an outfit is fug, but if it falls into that person’s personality/style it works. I’d much rather see a slightly fug outfit that fits the girl’s personal style than a fug dress that is just thrown on for attention.

    I know everyone is saying she’s smiling but her smile looks like the “i’m holding my breath to suck it in” fake smile. I think the outfit is cute…for a bollywood themed halloween party. Or just a halloween party in general where everyone would spend at least ten minutes trying to figure out exactly what she is.

    She’s 18. That’s all I’m saying. And I really like her hair.

    People, this outfit is seriously bad. Seriously, seriously bad. Perhaps you needed a palate cleanser after the Kardashians to truly appreciate how bad this is. I had one in the form of a 3 hour meeting. It sharpened my perception. This outfit is seriously, seriously bad.

    I love her in this! She’s working the ab-centric trend of this Spring (go Pucci!), and doing it well. She looks age appropriate—and her hair and makeup are awesome.

    If it were a one-piece dress instead of a bustier and skirt.. thing.. then I wouldn’t be mad at it at all.

    She’s a hot mess. Supposedly had sex under table at after Oscar party and slept with one of Liam’s brothers. This pic doesn’t do much for me either. Maybe after hunger games becomes a success, Liam can get a better girlfriend.

    I feel like I should hate this. But, she looks really cute – all clean and pretty. And I think it works on her! Maybe a little less boob, but otherwise I think she looks really cute and fun. It reminds me of something Shakira would wear.

    I wore exactly this to my first Tori Amos concert in the summer of 1992 at a very small theatre in Fort Lauderdale. I walked past some girl in the lobby who pointed at me and said, “Pretty! Flowy!” Seriously, it was right after Little Earthquakes came out and nobody knew who Tori Amos was and the theatre had less than 300 seats and when she sang “Silent All These Years”, it was magic…. Sorry, I got off track — anyway, Miley looks perfectly fine.

    I believe I saw Gweneth Paltrow wear a dress very similar to this and no one put her down about it… She looks good to me. Also, I’m starting to like her as a person from the things I hear about her.

    Frankly, I like this outfit. It’s cute and age appropriate. I think we forget sometimes how young she is, because she’s been so determined to appear older.

    Yes, it’s a little “Hi! I’m from the early nineties and living in a Julia Stiles movie,” but it’s still very cute. And her hair! Yay! So very excellent. I really don’t like those crazy long extensions on anyone.

    I don’t believe the rumor about sex under some table with anyone. No video. No photos. Not possible in this day and age. Also, so cramped! She’s too tall. Seriously. Didn’t happen. Plus, the rumor has morphed from “some actress slept with her boyfriend under a table at an unspecified party” to “Miley Cyrus slept with one of Liam’s brothers at an Oscar party?” That seems … kind of not true.
